Abstract
Chitosan and gelatin (GEL) are the two most common substrates for green active food packaging. However, chitosan is difficult to solute in water, and gelatin-based films are limited in application by gelatin’s poor active and basic properties. In this work, chitosan was modified to dialdehyde-chitosan (DCS), then it was blended with gelatin and doped with tea polyphenol (TP). Finally, the above materials were electrospined and Schiff-base crosslinked to dialdehyde-chitosan/gelatin/tea polyphenol nanofibrous membranes (DCS/GEL/TP-M) with antibacterial and antioxidant properties and good basic properties. The crosslinking process greatly enhanced the basic properties of the membranes, the addition of TP improved the activity of the membranes, with the inhibition of E. coli and S. aureus up to 91.08 % and 89.31 %, respectively, the scavenging of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH) free radicals of 85.43 %, and practical preservation experiments showed that the prepared film successfully extended the shelf life of strawberries to 7 days at 25 ℃. The results show that the DCS/GEL/TP-M have good application prospects in active food packaging.
期刊介绍:
Food packaging is crucial for preserving food integrity throughout the distribution chain. It safeguards against contamination by physical, chemical, and biological agents, ensuring the safety and quality of processed foods. The evolution of novel food packaging, including modified atmosphere and active packaging, has extended shelf life, enhancing convenience for consumers. Shelf life, the duration a perishable item remains suitable for sale, use, or consumption, is intricately linked with food packaging, emphasizing its role in maintaining product quality and safety.
